The tactical effectiveness, which is the result of applying decision-making algorithms to respond a specific situation with weapons and sensors, is required to analyze according to the integrated combat situation, because each situation, which is intimately involved with each other, influences the surface ship to complete missions successfully. However, the tactical effectiveness have been analyzed in separation of each tactical situation due to the complexity of the integrated tactical situation. This paper is originated from the needs for analyzing the anti-submarine search region of the surface ship after it evades the torpedo by operation of the torpedo countermeasure tactics. It also describes simulation results of effectiveness analysis for the search patterns in the search region.

In this study numerical and experimental studies are conducted to examine the wave screening effectiveness of trenches. The numerical study is based on a finite element model of a "sandbox" with Lysmer-Kuhlemeyer-type absorbing boundaries. Using the model, the screening effectiveness of trench is studied for different trench dimensions and distance from source and receiver to trench. The results of the numerical modeling are compared with the results of the ultrasonic experiment which is performed on a acrylic block with a drilled rectangular cut. These results show that the screening effectiveness of the trench is nearly equal if the depth of trench is lager than 60 % of the surface wave length. If is also shown that if the distance between the trench and the source is lager than twice the surface wave length, the thickness of the trench does not affect the screening effectiveness.

In this paper, a novel approach which enables rapid die surface modification for sheet metal forming process is proposed. In this method an implicit surface which interpolates a given set of control points and displacement constraints is generated to compute the displacements at arbitrary points located on die surface. The proposed method does not depend on the underlying surface representation type and is affected neither by its complexity nor by its quality. In addition, the domain decomposition method is introduced in order to treat large surface model. The global domain of interest is divided into smaller domains where the problem can be solved locally. And then the local solutions are combined together to obtain a global solution. In order to verify the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method, various surface modifications are carried out fur three kinds of die surface model including polygonal surface composed of triangular and rectangular meshes, polynomial surface and NURBS surface.

In order to enhance the electromagnetic shielding efficiency of commercialized cold-rolled steel sheets, we have prepared Ni deposited steel sheets by the electrodeposition method. Surface alloying with Ni and Fe was achieved on a steel sheet by diffusion annealing process. Shielding effectiveness measurement results showed that annealed Ni electrodeposited steel sheets enhanced the shielding efficiency up to about 3 dB in the frequency range of 20 to 200Hz, compared with that of non-deposited steel sheets.

This study concerns an advanced NURBS surface reconstruction method, which is based on the NURBS surface model fitting to the unstructured point cloud measured from an arbitrary complex shape. The concept of generating a simple triangular mesh model was introduced to generate a quadrilateral mesh model well-representing the topological characteristics of point cloud. The NURBS surface reconstruction processes required the use of the various methodologies such as QEM algorithm, merging scheme of pair-wise triangular mesh, creation algorithm of $G^1$ continuous tensor product NURBS surface patch, and so on. The effectiveness and reliability of the proposed NURBS surface reconstruction method were validated through the simulation results for the geometrically and topologically complex shapes.

An automatic mesh generation system with unstructured quadrilateral elements on trimmed NURBS surfaces has been developed.. In this paper, NURBS surface geometries in the IGES format have been used to represent model shape. NURBS surface is represented as parametric surface. So each surface could be mapped to a 2D parametric plane through the parametric domain. And then meshes with quadrilateral elements are constructed in this plane. Finally, the constructed meshes are mapped back to the original 3D surface through the parametric domain. In this paper, projection plane, quasi-expanded plane and parametric Plane are used as 2D mesh generation plane. For mapping 3D surface to parametric domain, Newton-Rhapson Method is employed. For unstructured mesh generation with quadrilateral elements on 2D plane, a domain decomposition algorithm using loop operators has been employed. Sample meshes are represented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we present a new time-varying sliding surface to achieve fast and robust tracking of higher-order uncertain systems. The surface passes through an initial error, and afterwards, it moves towards a predetermined target surface by means of a variable named by sliding surface gain and its intercept. Specifically, the sliding surface gain is determined so that its initial value can minimize a shifting distance of the surface and that the system roots in sliding mode can follow certain stable trajectories. The designed sliding mode control forces the system errors to stay always on the proposed surface from the beginning. By this means, the system remains insensitive to system uncertainties and disturbances for the whole time. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the comparative study with conventional time-invariant sliding mode control is performed.

In laser surface hardening processes, the geometrical parameters such as the depth and the width of a hardened layer can be utilized to assess the hardened layer quality. However, accurate monitoring of the geometrical parameters for on-line process control as well as for on-line quality evaluation is very difficult because the hardened layer is formed beneath a material surface and is not visible. Therefore, temperature monitoring of a point of specimen surface has most frequently been used as a process monitoring method. But, a hardened layer depends on the temperature distribution and the thermal history of a specimen during laser surface hardening processing. So, this paper describes the estimation results of the geometric parameters using multi-point surface temperature monitoring. A series of hardening experiments were performed to find the relationships between the geometric parameters and the measured temperature. Estimation results using a neural network show the enhanced effectiveness of multi-point surface temperature monitoring compared to one-point monitoring.

Falling film heat transfer has been widely used in many applications in which heat and mass transfer occur simultaneously, such as evaporative coolers, cooling towers, absorption chillers, etc. In such cases, it is desirable that the falling film spreads widely on the surface forming thin liquid film to enlarge contact surface and to reduce the thermal resistance across the film and/or the flow resistance to the vapor stream over the film. In this work, the surface is treated to have thin porous layer on the surface. With this treatment, the liquid can be spread widely on the surface by the capillary force resulting from the porous structure. In addition to this, the liquid can be held within the porous structure to improve surface wettedness regardless of the surface inclination. The experiment on the evaporative cooling of an inclined surface has been conducted to verify the effectiveness of the surface treatment. It is measured that the evaporative heat transfer increases about $50\%$ by the porous layer treatment as compared with that from orignal bare surfaces.
